The Great Chase – supporting the disability sector – has been one of the sport’s greatest community-conscious innovations since its inception in 2003.

And it continues to get even greater!

This year’s Group 3 ‘Racing and Community Events Series’ is no exception and is poised for a great start with heats at Bendigo (500m) and Traralgon (500m) on Friday.

The heats continue at Sandown Park (515m) and Sale (440m) on Sunday.

Invariably, the Great Chase is a stepping-stone to greatness.

So, here are some of the aspirants with ‘great expectations’ over the coming days.
